Master Zhao's father cleared the border troubles, subdued the troubles of the building, and added to the merits. To be able to subdue Beihu and use it for his own use, Master Zhao is the first person. As soon as Master Zhao and others returned to Handan, thousands of people came to greet them.

Zhao Wang He also led the military generals of Wenchen and greeted him in the north city of Handan.

As soon as Master Zhao appeared in everyone's sight, Zhao Wang He took the lead and said, "Welcome Master Zhao." ”

Everyone also said in unison: "Welcome Master Zhao." ”

Master Zhao said, "Okay." ”

Zhao Wanghe stretched out his hand and said, "Welcome Master Zhao back to the palace." ”

Master Zhao looked at Zhao Wanghe, and said with his chin bowed: "Zhang'er, He'er, let's go back to the palace together." ”

The military generals of Wenchen shouted in unison: "Welcome Lord Zhao back to the palace." ”

The people standing on Handan Street also shouted in unison, "Welcome Master Zhao back to the palace." ”

Back in Congtai Palace, Zhao Wang He sat on the throne, Zhao master's father was on one side, and convened the ministers to hold a court meeting.

Zhao Wanghe said with a smile: "Lord Zhao's father has settled in the northern frontier, subdued Lou Fu, and added merit." ”

The ministers shouted: "Long live the king, long live Lord Zhao's father." ”

Master Zhao looked at everyone calmly, raised his hand and said, "God bless Zhao Guo." ”

The ministers shouted, "God bless Zhao Guo." ”

Master Zhao asked, "What is the war in the Central Plains?" ”

Fei Yi came out and said: "The king, the father of Zhao, the three kingdoms of Qi, Han, Wei and Qin are at war. The Qin State lost its troops and lost its generals, and the land east of the river fell into the hands of the Three Kingdoms Alliance. The allied forces of the princes took advantage of the momentum and marched to Hangu to fight a decisive battle with the Qin state. ”

"Kuang Zhang deserves to be an undefeated general of Qi State." Master Zhao asked, "How long will this battle last?" ”

Zhao Xie said: "Hangu Pass is the most important pass for the princes of the Central Plains who advanced and retreated from the Qin State. If the coalition forces want to break through Xianyang, they must break through Hangu Pass. If Qin wants to hold Xianyang, it must hold Hangu Pass. The coalition forces are bound to attack, and the Qin State is bound to defend. This battle lasted as little as two years and as many years as possible. ”

Li Dui also said: "Hangu Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack. This battle will take a little more time. ”

Fei Yi also said: "The minister also believes that this battle will not end in a short time. Winter is approaching, and the weather is not good for the coalition forces. ”

Zhao Wang He asked: "Lord Zhao, the princes have joined forces to attack Qin. Are we joining forces with the princes to defeat Qin, or helping Qin to defeat the princes. ”

Master Zhao replied: "Lonely, no one will help." ”

Zhao Wang He asked again: "The princes of the Central Plains are fighting Qin, don't we do anything." ”

"Lonely, I don't cut down Qin, and I don't help Qin cut down the princes." Master Zhao's father raised his voice and said: "The Central Plains is in turmoil, and there is no time to interfere in Zhao's internal affairs. Lone decided, Ma stepped on Lingshou, leveled Zhongshan, and completely cleared the troubles of the heart. ”

Zhao Wanghe asked: "Zhongshan is not enough of a threat to our country, we might as well attack Qin and weaken Qin." ”

"Lonely, it took more than ten years to weaken Zhongshan, and we must not give Zhongshan a chance to rise again."

"Zhongshan is very involved. If we destroy it, and the princes send troops to intervene, we will return in vain. The child thinks that we will first join forces with the princes to attack Qin, and then destroy Zhongshan. ”

"The attention of the princes of the Central Plains is in the Qin State, and at this time, it is the best opportunity for us to level Zhongshan."

When the ministers saw that King Zhao and Lord Zhao's father were fighting Qin or leveling Zhongshan, the two had a difference of opinion, and they didn't know who to support, so they were silent. Zhao Wang He didn't know why Master Zhao insisted on leveling Zhongshan, but he let go of the opportunity to weaken Qin.

"Lonely, raise troops to destroy Zhongshan, and this matter is decided." Master Zhao's father got up and issued an order, "Tomorrow, send troops to attack Zhongshan." ”

Fei Yi didn't expect that the loving Lord Zhao would dictate the dynasty and not take into account Zhao Wanghe's face. He also wanted to know what happened during this period of time when Master Zhao surrendered Lou Fu.

At this moment, the situation is in an embarrassment. He not only has to take care of King Zhao's face, but also has to take care of Zhao's father's emotions. After a brief thought, Fei Yi still decided to stand on the side of Master Zhao's father.

Fei Yi reconciled: "Your Majesty, what Master Zhao said is good. The life of Zhongshan is tenacious, and if it is not completely flattened, they will also resurrect. We have spent 10 years of our efforts to weaken Zhongshan, and we must not allow Zhongshan to stand up again and endanger our country. ”

Li Dui saw that the situation was wrong, and also said: "Zhongshan Kingdom is embedded in the heart of Zhao State, resulting in inconvenient transportation in Handan and Dai counties. If we level the mountain, rest and gallop. Handan and Daijun are closely linked together. ”

Gongzicheng asked: "Zhongshan State does not pose any threat to our country, but the princes attack Qin, and Qin State is weak. We can't kill Qin, but we can also weaken Qin. If we level Zhongshan, the princes of the Central Plains will also wait for an opportunity to intervene. The minister also thought that cutting down Qin was the best policy. ”

Zhao Wen also said: "Master Zhao's father just sent troops to the north and surrendered Lou Fu. Swinging Zhongshan, should it be slowed down? ”

"Zhongshan has existed for too long." Master Zhao was not angry and said arrogantly: "It will not be extinguished at this time, but when will it be." ”

Fei Yi and Li Dui's words also gave Zhao Wang He time to ease up. Zhao Wang He stabilized his mind, and did not insist on his own opinion, and said softly: "Lord Zhao's words are reasonable. Dangping Zhongshan, please also ask the master to work hard. ”

Fei Yi saw that Zhao Wang He took a step back, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "How many soldiers and horses does Lord Zhao need to level Zhongshan?" ”

Master Zhao stretched out five thick fingers, and said in a domineering tone: "Five thousand iron horses are enough." ”

Lord Zhao's words shocked the ministers.

Master Zhao's father wanted to use 5,000 iron horses to level Zhongshan. This is too unkind to take Zhongshan Kingdom in your eyes. However, Master Zhao's father had great martial arts and outstanding achievements. He was really able to defeat Zhongshan with five thousand iron cavalry, or did he say that Master Zhao surrendered Lou Fu, was too confident and underestimated the enemy.

Fei Yi said worriedly: "Master Zhao, five thousand iron horsemen are sweeping Zhongshan, is the number of people a little less." ”

Zhao Wang He also said: "The widow also feels that the number of people is a little less. To level Zhongshan, we must increase our troops. ”

"No need." Master Zhao knew the meaning of these ministers' gaze, "Lonely, with five thousand iron horses, to level Zhongshan, it can also be regarded as giving face to the king of Zhongshan." ”

King Zhao saw that Master Zhao's father was domineering and exposed, and he was very confident in Zhongshan, so he didn't say much, "If you level Zhongshan and add more achievements, please ask Master Zhao." ”

Master Zhao raised his voice and said, "Zhang'er, where is it." ”

Gongzi Zhang came out and said: "Minister, here." ”

"Lone, make you the general of the expedition to the north, lead five thousand iron cavalry, and fight with Lone to level Zhongshan."

As soon as Lord Zhao's words fell, the ministers were in an uproar.

Gongzi Zhang saw that Zhao Wanghe did not speak, and the ministers were different, and they did not understand the meaning of Zhao's father, so they did not dare to receive the order.

Seeing that Zhang'er had not received the order for a long time, Master Zhao's father also guessed the concerns in his heart, and asked: "Take Zhang'er as the general of the expedition to the north and level Zhongshan." Wang'er, I won't object! ”

King Zhao saw that although the ministers in the palace had objections, he did not dare to speak up. Although he was dissatisfied, he could only suppress the anger in his heart and said with a smile: "Everything listens to the words of Master Zhao's father." ”

Master Zhao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Zhang'er, you still don't receive your order." ”

Gongzi Zhang commanded: "Oh." ”

Fei Yi has been observing Zhao Wanghe, and he is also afraid that Zhao Wanghe will speak out against it. In this way, there will be no peace in the court. When Fei Yi heard Zhao Wang He's promise, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Wanghe asked: "Master Zhao, what else does the child need to do?" ”

Master Zhao said: "Let's disperse!" ”

The ministers saluted and said: "Congratulations to Lord Zhao, congratulations to the king." ”

After the court meeting was dispersed, Feiyi walked out of the hall, and Li Dui chased after him and asked, "Xiangbang, I'm a little confused." ”

Fei Yi lowered his voice and said, "Not only are you confused, I'm also confused!" ”

Li Dui asked, "What is the intention of Lord Zhao's actions?" ”

Fei Yi sighed: "I don't understand it either. ”

"Cutting down Qin is also a strategy formulated by Lord Zhao's father. The princes went to war with the Qin state, and the Qin state was defeated and retreated. At this time, it is the right time for us to join forces with the princes to attack Qin. Why did Master Zhao's father want to level Zhongshan first. ”

"Master Zhao's father is leveling Zhongshan, I can still figure it out. I don't understand why Master Zhao's father wanted to make Gongzi Zhang the general of the expedition to the north. ”

"Yes! I don't understand it either. Lord Zhao's father abolished the crown prince's chapter and supported the prince to be the king. Gongzizhang went to Yanmen County and did not return to Handan. In recent years, the government has been stable. Gongzizhang returned from Yanmen County and was also named the general of the expedition to the north. A terrible thought welled up in Li Dui's mind, "Master Zhao won't be..."

Fei Yi sighed and sighed, "This is also what I am worried about. ”

"What are we going to do?"

"Master Zhao is a hero of the world, and the princes of the world can't reach him. The king, Gongzi Zhang, and Gongzi Sheng are not mediocre people. Gongzisheng is young and does not understand the dispute between the court, but Gongzizhang is over 20 years old and has military exploits, and is deeply supported by the four counties in northern Xinjiang. Gongzizhang will make meritorious deeds again, and the situation of Zhao will not be peaceful. ”

"Xiangbang means that the king and the prince will meet..."

"If Master Zhao's father is here, the two sons will naturally not fight. If something happens to Lord Zhao's father, there will be turmoil in Zhao Guo. Fei Yi asked with a solemn expression: "Li Dui, do you support Wang Shang or Gongzi Zhang." ”

Li Dui was silent for a while, and replied: "The king is the orthodoxy of the Zhao State, and the ministers support the king. Xiangbang, who to support. ”

"Whether it's the king, or the prince's chapter. One is the crown prince whom we have been shouting for more than ten years, and the other is the king who was supported by Lord Zhao's father. No matter who I support, I am ashamed of Master Zhao. Fei Yi sighed: "I will do everything in my power to resolve the dispute between the two sons." If I die in front of Lord Zhao's father, I will be worthy of the ancestors and the father of Zhao. ”

Li Dui asked, "Will the king and Gongzi Zhang really fight for royal power?" ”

"If they don't fight, others will fight." Fei Yi sighed: "I don't want to see that day!" ”

Li Dui Zhengse said: "The two sons can't be reconciled, you always have to choose one person, who will you support." ”

"In the past few years, Gongzi Zhang'an has kept to himself, and he has no thoughts about the throne, maybe we think too much." Fei Yi said with a smile: "Master Zhao is still in the prime of life, my old bones, I don't know when I will go to see the ancestors." Let's not let mediocrity disturb us. ”

Li Dui didn't get any effective information from Xiangbang, so he chose to stop at moderation and saluted: "Congratulations to Xiangbang." ”

Fei Yi returned the salute and walked out of the palace. Walking to the palace gate, one person stood in front of Feiyi, saluted and said: "The king ordered me to wait for Xiangbang again." ”

Fei Yi looked at the man and asked, "You are the chief letter of the king's guard." ”

The letter saluted and said, "Xiangbang, the king is still waiting." ”

King Zhao He saw Feiyi and asked, "Taifu, you can understand today's court meeting." ”

Fei Yi nodded and said, "Your Majesty, how do you feel?" ”

"Master Zhao's father has changed." Zhao Wang He said sadly: "It has become frightening. ”

Fei Yi comforted: "Lord Zhao handed over the country to the king, how could the king say such a thing, this is disrespectful." The king will complain and say to his ministers. ”

"Taifu, it's not me who complains. At today's court meeting, the ministers only had Lord Zhao's father, and there were no widows. Zhao Wang He said angrily: "There is a widow in the eyes of Lord Zhao's father. ”

Fei Yi didn't expect that King Zhao already had hatred for Lord Zhao, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, if Lord Zhao didn't have you in his heart, how could he hand over the country to you." ”

"Master Zhao chose me, why do you want to support him to check and balance me." Zhao Wang He remembered the things in the court, gritted his teeth and said: "How can the widow believe that Lord Zhao has me in his heart." ”

"It's good that the king failed to have a dispute with Lord Zhao in the court and took the initiative to retreat."

"All the ministers know Lord Zhao's father, but they don't know the widow. If the widow does not regress, will Master Zhao's father regress? King Zhao stabilized his mind and sneered: "Master Zhao's father can set up a widow, and he can also abolish a widow." What can the widow do except regress and endure. ”

"Your Majesty, when it is time to fight, you still have to fight."

"Fight? What should I do to fight with Master Zhao's father? ”

"Your Majesty, the situation is not as bad as imagined."

"Master Zhao's father privately settled Lou Annoying people in Jiuyuan County, and the widow didn't say anything. Master Zhao took him back to Handan, and I endured it. Why, Lord Zhao's father did not ask for the opinion of the widow, and privately named him the general of the expedition to the north. ”

"Master Zhao is a person who values feelings, and he has guilt for both you and Gongzi Zhang. The king, as a son of man, should be considerate of Lord Zhao's father. ”

Zhao Wanghe asked: "Who does the widow and Zhao's father, Gongzi Zhang, and Taifu choose?" ”

Half loud, Fei Yi did not answer.

King Zhao understood everything from Feiyi's eyes.

Feiyi was loyal to Lord Zhao's father, how could he choose him, waved his hand and said: "The widow is tired, and the master is at his own convenience." ”

Fei Yi bowed, then walked out of the main hall, looked at the black clouds hanging over Handan, and said in his heart: "The sky of Zhao Kingdom will really change." ”

The next day, Zhao's father gathered 5,000 iron horsemen and swore to attack Zhongshan.

Zhao Wang He led the military generals to see off Lord Zhao's father, and his tone was humble, "Child, I wish Lord Zhao Lord Father to calm Zhongshan, complete the great cause, and return as soon as possible." ”

Everyone also said in unison: "I wish Lord Zhao a peaceful Zhongshan and return as soon as possible." ”

Master Zhao's father shouted: "Go on the expedition." ”

Five thousand Zhao national iron cavalry, four people in a row, the army was neat, drove out of Handan, and the troops sent to Zhongshan State.

On this day, the king of Zhongshan was still sleeping peacefully, and the chamberlain crawled in with a rolling belt, and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, it's not good." The army of Zhao State is approaching the city. ”
